Winterize Your Tires for Safety and Performance

Optimal tire pressure doesn’t just increase mileage; it extends the life of the tires for your entire fleet. While this is true year-round, it’s more difficult to maintain proper inflation when temperatures fall.

Tire pressure decreases about 2 PSI for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit. But only 17 percent of drivers know how to check the pressure in their tires, and 50 percent don’t know the proper inflation for the tires on their vehicle.

Simple education and training about maintaining proper tire pressure go a long way toward lowering fuel costs, extending the life of your tires, and keeping your fleet out of danger and on the road.
